- i drop other 2 K2 nanohives and the previous 2 do not disapper
This should be fixed But if i change suit to the same suit my equipment should be resupplied like it's now and if i have different kind of nanohives (for example) i should be able to deploy them simultaneusly.
This isn't how it happens at all. I know this for a fact as I am one of the "nanohive spammers". I use adv gal logi suit with proto equip (always carry proto nanite, so assume it is my 3rd equip). It works like this...
1) Spawn in with initial suit containing allotek hives and a stable uplink
2) Drop the 2 allotek and the 1 uplink as allowed by description
3) switch to same/different dropsuit with wyrkomi triage and guaged nano
4) place 2 triage and 3 guaged (as allowed in their descriptions), all remain on the field
5) switch to another suit with K17/d nano and proto rep tool
6) place 2 K17's, all still remain
If at any time you drop 1 of the type already in play, it will replace 1 of that type as long as max still deployed, but not any other. This is not putting out more of a hive than stated as it's limit, and it is no different than dying and spawning in with a different suit (as happens while going back and forth to depots in heat of battle).
Just making sure we are all on the same page as to what some are calling an exploit. |

It seems to me that what I'm hearing most of the hate about is uplink spam, and not so much hive spamming. Is that correct? I gotta say it's annoying not being able to see the board sometimes due to something that seems to have no real purpose, but as one of those who are glad to hear the depot is "working as intended", I just move along as I always did. Thanking god that i don't have to march across a map to get those hives back up.
Since I will regularly drop 12-15 hives on a map at once (in strategic places, for specific on-field purposes, trust me they all go somewhere special), I have to say I'm not for any limitation. I've had 2 minutes of setup ruined by 2-3 well placed flux nades, so it isn't like these are hard to eliminate. However, they can be a massive boost to anyone who has been on a team with me, if they take advantage of them.
So is that the reason for the hate on uplink spam? That since every hive is essentially the same, you don't necessarily "need" that many up at once in a concentrated effort? If so I can sympathize, but just not agree. Leave it alone and wait until everyone is rolling in WP for blowing up my 30k nanohives along with their <1k uplinks. That should help even out the WP distribution to keep those who like to pewpewpew from feeling they have been "cheated" out of some imaginary benefit, even tho anything done by a logi can't do anything but help them succeed (short of dropping a hive/link on a concealed sniper). |
